Augmentative Communication

Are you searching for ways to help them tell you what they want or need, their opinions, what is wrong when they are upset? Has your child’s school recommended an augmentative communication book, app, or system, and you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start?

I can help.

I specialize in helping children with a wide variety of diagnoses, including Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Angelman Syndrome, Pitt Hopkins Syndrome, and other rare genetic conditions learn to communicate using augmentative communication.

What is AAC?

"Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is the term used to describe various methods of communication that can ‘add-on’ to speech and are used to get around problems with ordinary speech. AAC includes simple systems such as pictures, gestures and pointing, as well as more complex techniques involving powerful computer technology.”

Having a child with complex needs introduces you to a world you never knew existed. As parents, we are often told by specialists all the things our child cannot do and will never be able to do. Finding Lynn to both work with and support our daughter, Libby, has shown us all that Libby is capable of doing and has removed so many of the barriers placed before her. Lynn has been instrumental in helping us mainstream Libby into a typical classroom by adapting her curriculum and working with the teachers and other students. This has allowed Libby to be surrounded by her peers, motivating her to learn what we never thought possible. Lynn has helped Libby grow exponentially with her TobiiDynavox communication device, thus helping Libby improve her expressive language on a daily basis. All parents need a Lynn in their life who believes in their child and who can show them all the possibilities that their child can accomplish, giving them the tools needed to live his or her best life.
